Transformed
He has made Him to be sin for us . . .
that we might be made the righteousness of God . . .
2 Corinthians 5:21
Augustine Hippo (396 to 430) was one of the greatest theologians of all time, and prolific writer, he was also a skilled preacher, and the missionary who went to England to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons to the Christian faith. Be for his own conversion, He was a wild, intemperate, immoral youth. In spite of his mother’s pleadings and prayers, he grew worse instead of better. But one day, he had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ that transformed his life. His restlessness and the practice of sin disappeared. He became one of the great saints of all time. Again, in the eightieth Century, John Newton was a slave trader on the west coast of Africa. One day in a storm at sea he met Jesus Christ. He went back to England and became an Anglican clergyman. He wrote scores of hymns, one of which has become the modern popular song, “Amazing Grace.” This is what Christ can do for anyone who puts their trust in Him.
